It is of course not my intention to leave things as is.

From now on, we can either: 
      * wait until 0.14, which will probably change the SONAME again, to
        follow the ABI changes; 
      * re-upload unpatched poppler 0.12.2 with a new binary package
        name (libpoppler5a).

I’ll probably do the latter, but *after* the poppler migration to
testing is complete. Otherwise Luk is going to kill me for good.

Cheers,
